SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0684
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview on 10/17/23 at 11:30 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #802 confirmed Resident #87 was
admitted with a double lumen central line catheter in her right upper chest on 08/08/23. LPN #802 indicated
the central line catheter remained in place until when the resident discharged to the hospital on [DATE].
LPN #802 verified there were no physician orders to maintain and/or care for the resident's central line and
verified no central line catheter care was completed during the resident's admission.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 10/17/23 at 1:20 P.M. with Regional Registered Nurse (RN) #809 verified Resident #87's
central line catheter was in place during her admission from 08/08/23 through discharge on [DATE] and
was not maintained and/or care for per the facility policy.
Review of the facility policy titled Central Venous Catheter Dressing Changes revised 07/16 indicated the
dressing must stay clean, dry, and intact. Change the transparent semi-permeable membrane (TSM)
dressings at least every five to seven days and as needed (when wet, soiled, or not intact).
Review of the facility policy titled Flushing Central Venous and Midline Catheters revised 07/16 indicated a
midline and central line access devices would be flushed to maintain patency, to prevent mixing of
incompatible medications and solutions; and to ensure entire dose of solution or medication as
administered into the venous system. For multi-lumen access devices, each lumen was considered a
separate catheter and must be flushed according to established catheter protocols to prevent occlusion.
Flush catheters at regular intervals to maintain patency and before and after administration of solutions,
medications or blood using a 10 milliliter or greater normal saline syringe for flushing.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00146725
